Stop Excessive Force in Immigration Act of 2026
S 3683 establishes strict limits on force used by federal immigration officers, requiring non-deadly force only when no safer alternative exists and prohibiting deadly force except under DOJ standards. It mandates body cameras for all officers within 180 days, requires annual de-escalation and civil rights training, and bans equipment like flashbangs without supervisor-approved tactical plans. The bill creates new reporting requirements for the DHS and DOJ, including semiannual congressional reports on force incidents, assaults on officers, and equipment use. These provisions directly affect all federal immigration enforcement personnel, aiming to increase accountability and transparency in enforcement operations.
